Eve opened the door to Lucifer's room slowly, her breathing quickened. What would he say? Was he mad at her? Oh good Lord that's stupid of course he's mad at her! She wouldn't blame him at all if he yelled at her.

Eve stood by the door, Lucifer was sitting on his bed, the silence was deafening.

Until finally, "why didn't you tell me?"

Eve looked up, she'd been staring at her feet.

"I-" but she had no idea what to say, so she shut her mouth.

"I wouldn't have been mad, if that's what you thought, I understand that you wouldn't have had the chance to tell me in life. But why not when you died?" There were tears in his eyes.

Eve looked away, then whispered, "I'm sorry, Lucifer, I just-"

"No," Lucifer said, tears sliding down his face. "No, sorry doesn't cut it! Why couldn't you have just told me?!"

Eve frowned, looking down at her feet. Guilt weighing down on her, heavy and unable to be moved.

There was a long stretch of silence between the two of them, Lucifer forced himself not to cry and inhaled deeply, managing to relax his nerves.

"I just . . . what did you think was going to happen? Did you think I wouldn't care? Wouldn't care that I had a whole other child that I'd never known about or met?" Lucifer stood up, his legs still felt kinda wobbly, but he ignored it. "Because that's the complete opposite of how I would've reacted. God, Eve, why couldn't you have just told me??"

Eve didn't answer, and Lucifer sighed. "Whatever. Just . . . just go."

The woman didn't move for a few moments, until she finally turned around and headed out, her head down.

Lucifer looked down at his wedding band, and though no one was in the room, he whispered; "you did something unforgivable, Lilith, I hope I never see you again."

He pulled the ring off his finger and threw it into a drawer.

He'd finally done it.

It felt almost like a weight being lifted off his shoulders. He was finally over Lilith.

Charlie knocked on the doorframe, and her father looked up. "Yes?"

"Um, Alastor said he wants to talk to you. He's in the kitchen right now." Charlie told him.

"Oh." Lucifer said, feeling a bit shocked. "Okay, I'll be down in a sec."

What did Alastor of all people want to discuss with him?
